With the new FTC rules I want to be clear on any sort of compensation I may receive through blogging. Occasionally I may receive small fees through affiliate plans, payment for articles I have written or sell the supplies I discuss.

This is nothing new, isn't a whole lot... and a small facet of how I make my living as an artist. I have never, and will never promote products I don't believe in.

I’m keeping it short & simple tonight folks! Have a few small orders to get packed & shipped out and a laundry list of to-do’s that need tackling before I go home for the holidays.

As a quick FYI and almost shameless plug, it’s the last 24 hours to order from my store and have it shipped before I leave… I haven’t advertised yet that I am basically going out of business – so grab what you want now, before I promote it – more will be added as time permits too. If you do make an order tonight/tomorrow I’ll also email you another collage sheet from here upon request. Just sweetening the pot!I’m in the process of converting all the collage sheets I formerly sold (before my 2 good printers passed on to wherever it is printers go when they die)… to be sold as my line of print-your-own digital collage sheets .. anyway …. while working on this tonight I thought what a simple giveaway that EVERYONE can receive! Love that.

My cat is so cute when she snores. Yeah, I know – nothin’ to do with this. Just sayin’!

I’m giving you a plethora of choices, so pick your favorite by name and let me know what it is in the comments section – be sure to use a valid email address or you won’t receive it! You will also need the free Adobe Reader to open these.

I’m only sending these out until Sunday – so act fast if you want one!

Pick any collage sheet from this set of mine on flickr EXCEPT the Inching Along series. Sorry, it’s not eligible.

Let’s recap:

On this post in the comments section – let me know which collage sheet you want. Nothin’ else tonight – since I’m taking the easy road, I’m letting you take it too! But feel free to share if you’d like!

Do this by: Sunday, December 21th, 2008 – emails & comments received after that, will not be honored.

PLEASE keep Spreading the word! Blog it, Tell your friends — the works! I’m amazed daily at the impact this project is having on people. I want it to be contagious, plus it fuels me to make it bigger & better!

Oh my Chrysti…there’s too many beautiful ones to choose from and I have to admit I love them all. However, if I am choosing one I think it would have to be ‘Doggone It’ because there’s a dog on there that looks like mine.
p.s….you ought to compile a book using all the wonderful sayings and your insightful posts. I’m sure it would sell wonderfully well.

I’d like “Passion for purple” please :) Thanks so much for this…you are a doll!

Please contact me….I really want to know how long I have til shopping is NO longer at the altered Abbey…I love so much, but I am w/o an income, and I might be able to get someone to gift me LOL ( beatrix potter stuff for one thing)

You call this easy?You have way too many beautiful images!!!I love each and every one!!!Choosing one is very difficult Chrysti-but I have chosen”Now I Pray5″…Now I’m off to your flickr page to grab some more goodies!!!

Ooh! They are ALL so beautiful…sorry to hear you`re going out of business, but when one door closes, another one opens :) I`d LOVE “passion For Purple 2” in B & W, please. Thank you for your generousity…

Thank you so much, you generous Soul you ! You must be feeling the love filtering round back to you with all the loving giving you have been doing ! Such a great thing this putting the love out there, isn’t it ?

I would love to have the “Gone to the birds” collage sheet – there is one image in particular that kind of grabbed me and I can see the journal page already !

These are beautiful, Chrysti. Selling them as digital downloads is a great idea. Being in the UK it saves on postage – LOL. I love the ones with the animals. Horsin’ Around 2 is my choice of favourite. I hope things are not bad enough that you really are going out of business. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that things pick up.

Hi there-we are enjoying(?) a winter wonderland in the northwest. Id love to have your toddlerific 3. Sorry to hear about your business but there is probably a real opportunity right around the corner that needed this door to close for the new one to open.

I have a “thing” about hats and have kept many of my mother’s, grandmothers and great-grandmother’s.

Once, for my birthday, I threw a real tea party with tiered dishes of mini scones, mini muffins, pudding tarts and petit’ fours. And real tea in real tea cups poured out of real tea pots, just like the Brits do it.

Then I placed the hat collection around the room and encouraged everyone to wear them:)

Hi Chrysti- it’s evident you are having fun with all this giving-your posts are full of energy! I loved your interview with Jon. If you’re really e-giving away a collage sheet, I would just like to be surprised. Hope our Cheldoll is okay. Happy Holidays!

Hi Chrysti, I can’t find where to email you, I’d like the Catpanions or 2 or 3, whichever is easiest for you. Is this how I do it? THANK YOU

cc donnalb@newsguy.com that one you have to verify

Aww – You are the single most generous person I’ve ever [not] met. For some reason your blog hates me – I’ve been trying to post for over 2 hours, but it wouldn’t let me. We’ll see if it’s different this time. I also can’t get your album to load. I can see the main pic, but no individual ones. Flick’r just sits there and says “loading”. It’s odd because I’m not having that issue with anyone else on Flick’r. That doesn’t mean you’re sick of me, does it??

I’m incredibly grateful for your sweet gift – thank you. Since I am unable to see any of them close up, will you please just send me your favorite? And if you don’t have one, women, wings & hats are always good. :) But really, it doesn’t matter as I will be honored to have any of them. :)

Um…um…um…what to chose, what to chose?
I love them all…what about toddlerific3…or should it be now I pray5? ohhh I can’t decide…OK what would I use most? um um OK toddlerific5 the wee guy with the gun and his toys is just too cute.
thank you so much, what a lovely gift. Merry Christmas Corrine

What a most generous Christmas gift!
I would love to have the Cat-panions-2 sheet.
I have a daughter who is just wild about cats, and could make her some altered goodies with some images of sweet girls with kittens.
Thanks for offereing such a lovely gift.

I agree with most everyone else~it it very hard to choose…& I’m not very techie, so I don’t know if I can do this, but I love Toddlerific! Thank you! I’m going to have to figure out how to get the free vintage images you hve on Flickr, too~ great stuff!

wow, chrysti, thank you! you are so generous! it was so difficult to choose just 1…they are all so exquisite! “women with wings” really caught my creative heart, though. ;) thank you and happy holidays to you!!
